Subject: Stairways in The 39 Steps

In Hitchcock's Blackmail, Rich and Strange and The 39 Steps, a featured man and woman ascend a stairway to symbolize a turning point in the dynamics of their relationship. The ascents not only serve character developments, but voice Hitchcock's view of relationships. If you want to read more about this symbolism in the 39 Steps visit:

The mpeg2 (1340Mb) seems to be defective: I've tried it on several media players but without success.

The mpg (324Mb) works OK, but this print has been cut by about four minutes. (Note in case of panic when you start it: there's about 30 seconds of blank screen before the movie starts.)

Hitch's first truly great film--this is one of the treasures of the IA!
